Yearnings for Love

The chosen 13 words:
fractured  illusory topaz  tones moon ebb  scales
fluttering  signals goddesses  fame breath words

Fractured mind illusory in nature
Shining like topaz in tones unflattering
Fleetingly akin to goddesses’  overtures
Of moon ebbing in its shine fuming

Scales of measure signals lack of words
To describe the true feelings and emotions
A  breath of fame in keeping with a thought
With a  fluttering of anger and innocence

Venturing onwards it can only be proverbial
A provocative proposal awaiting consideration
A twinge of fate can lead to a likely tussle
To yearn for a love seemingly out of turn

  2. 'Scales of measure signals lack of words' ~ real love needs only to express itself. Passionate write!

    I don't have problems with your sort of comment box, but the drop down ones I do.
    Thanks for the comment.

  4. Imaginative write Kaykuala - especially liked:

    "A breath of fame in keeping with a thought
    With a fluttering of anger and innocence"

  7. nice fluidity in your words and images in this hank....
    i wonder if we will ever be able to fully articulate our love...
    we try with snippets and baubles...

  12. Whether intentional or coincidental, the alliteration in this piece is stunning.

  14. When trying to describe our emotions -- especially love -- it can be a challenge. We make think it sounds like nothing but a bunch of "sound and fury". I read both beauty and frustration in your words.
